Welcome to Tier1 BSA

The banking industry has been confronted with myriad issues over the past two years, from increased regulation and unprecedented closings, to fast-moving technology and increased competition. Through it all, however, the banking industry remains strong, particularly the community banking industry. In fact, the economy is positively poised for both buyers and sellers of community banks. From the East Coast to the Midwest to the Western states, now is the time for community bank management to explore their options.

Tier1 Bank Sales & Acquisitions (Tier1 BSA) was founded to assist bank management with the advice, guidance and expertise necessary to guide them through the sales and acquisition process. Whether wanting to sell or buy a bank or branch location, Tier1 BSA provides a full slate of services to achieve the bank’s goals and expectations.

In the sales and acquisition process, every facet must be planned carefully. This process must consider all aspects, such as technical and operational integration, human resources, service offerings, location and more. Tier1 BSA works closely with the bank’s management to develop a comprehensive strategic plan, conduct a thorough search of available buyers or sellers, oversee due diligence, and provide guidance through the entire process.

Tier1 BSA is a division of BankNews Media, which has served the banking industry for more than a century. With the nationwide readership of its print, digital and online publications, BankNews Media offers Tier1 clients an unmatched market of potential partners in the purchase or sale of a bank.
